An "ingredients list" (innehållsförteckning) was created by Nordic game designer, Karin Edman. We thank her for permission to make use of the concept within Dystopia Rising.

This list is a general summary of the topics, events and types of storytelling that are common at Dystopia Rising. Each game, with its own unique local flavor and stories, keeps an additional Ingredients List on their website to ensure that the contents of their events are made known.

This list is not a list of triggers, but instead focuses of content that exist within the world so that the individual player can determine if these events are right for them.

While this listing does not dictate player to player interactions, the official aspects of the events will follow the guideline of what story the game organizers and network wish to run. Its purpose is to allow players to have a greater level of expectations and understanding of what an event could contain before arriving to the site.
